Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

To underline the more confident outlook, director share buying has taken place. But Wakebourne has an atrocious record to overcome. It has attracted two bursts of enthusiasm in the past and its shares touched 351p in 1992.
o While quoted companies stampede into football clubs, little Romulus, traded on Ofex, has chosen ice hockey as its sporting interest. The car distributor has taken a stake in Telford Tigers. Its shares are 78p.
